Keeping Safe
Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.
Most of the time at church we are like a big happy family. However, even in very happy families people can have a bad day, and even people we know and trust can upset us. We want everyone to have good days, all of the time.
We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well, and in a way that's helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you.
It's important that you tell us if something is upsetting you, or if you're feeling worried about something that's happening, or something somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who you can talk to, and who you can ask for help — they're good at safeguarding, which means they look after everyone's safety.
Who can help you
The people who can help you are the parish priest, or the parish safeguarding officer.
